I'd rather not get hugged. I've recently been diagnosed as hedonophobic.

So am I! Wait I have to look that up. Lets see: the fear of pleasure. Well maybe not, but the thought of being hugged by a guy, not so good.
Switch Tim out with a gorgeous woman, I'll go for it. I.E. The woman.

no matter how gorgeous the woman- somewhere someone is tired of seeing her naked.

I'm with Erik...

I don't like it when Tim tries to give me a massage after class. I go to the Thai massage place for $25/hour. When I'm there the Thai massage guy tries to teach me martial arts and I want him to shut the fcuk up. I buy food at the grocery store, not the library.

I'm with Willard...

...only it's a lot less than $25 here, it's a massage "girl" and it's not martial arts she's trying to teach me!

I assume happy endings?

It is "martial arts"...swordplay young Lancelot!

Great info! You must train with realistic scenarios(as real as you can get).

The "Spear" concept initiates the fight(if you are lucky it ends it). But as he has said many times, "after that you must rely on your own delivery system".

That's were "sport" training is valuable, for it gives you your toughness and "high percentage" time proven tactics against resistant opponents. Also, almost any tradition style can work here also, for you have the guy physically, mentally and emotionally off balanced with your forward pressure.

It all goes back to not style or concept, but your "training method".

Thanks!

It's not as straight forward as that.

Your heart beat can rush to 180 in half a second and normally does during the flinch response. Above around 140 you cannot use fine motor skill, have tunnel vision, can't hear much at all, and your "motor engrams" won't work. You need to get your heart beat down below around 140 in order to use your martial art.

That's where the real training is...

rumbrae,

You're way off with the 140 BPM number.

Willard, why don't you get into some real fights and then talk to me.

I've personally picked fights wearing heart rate monitors. Above 140 bpm I got my ass kicked, below 140 bpm I kicked ass.

"I've personally picked fights wearing heart rate monitors. Above 140 bpm I got my ass kicked, below 140 bpm I kicked ass."

I laughed so hard I almost •••• myself

Do you have something against scientific data?

Stupid is as stupid does.

rumbrae just won my vote.

You guys are so neanderthal you can't tell when the posts are mine or not.

Willard, you're way off. Here's the proof.

The Anatomy Of Fear and
How It Relates To Survival
Skills Training

" Research is to see what everyone else has seen, and think what no one else
has thought"
Albert Szent-Gyorgy (Nobelish 1927)

The Anatomy Of Fear and How It Relates To Survival Skills Training

... In 1995, Bruce Siddle released his first book entitled, "Sharpening The
Warrior's Edge The Psychology and Science Of Training." In my opinion,
Sidles's published works began to answer a lot of the questions that I asked
during my experience with, and empirical research into combatives ...

... Siddle's definition of SSR as it relates to combat is: "a state where a
'perceived' high threat stimulus automatically engages the sympathetic
nervous system." The sympathetic nervous system is an autonomic response
process which, when activated, one has little control of." Why is SSR so
important when it comes to combat/self protection? Because when activated,
SSR has both a psychological and physiological effect to the body which
could affect one's perception of threat in a negative way. So what are some
of these effects according to Siddle's research?

a) Increased Heart Rate:

* We know that SSR is directly related to an increased heart
rate
* At 115 beats per minute (bpm) most people will lose fine
complex motor skills such as finger dexterity, eye/hand co-ordination,
multi-tasking becomes difficult
* At 145 bpm, most people will lose complex motor skills (3 or
more motor skills designed to work in unison)

... c) Effects To The Auditory System:

* At approx 145 bpm, that part of the brain that hears, shuts
down during SSR. This is one reason why it is not uncommon for fighters to
say, "I didn't hear that," " I heard voices but I could't understand what
they were saying," or "I heard bits and pieces," and " I didn't hear a gun
shot."

d) Effects To The Brain:

* At approx. 175 bpm, it is not uncommon for a person to have
difficulty remembering what took place or what they did during a
confrontation
* This recall problem is known as "Critical Stress Amnesia."
After a critical incident, it is not uncommon for a person to only recall
approx 30% of what happened in the first 24 hours; 50% in 48 hors; and 75-95
% in 72-100 hours.

"

I have a serious question for rumbrae.

If the last two statements are true then how do you explain how I can recall more things the higher the stress levels become?

The less stress I have the less I remember. I think because it doesn't matter much to me.

It appears that I work backwards as compared to the example that you cited.

Why do you think that is?

Rumbrae, what I don't understand is, how did you keep the heart-rate monitor on during clinching? Or were you able to disable your opponents at the striking phase? And how many fights are we talking?

If you lose "fine complex motor skills such as finger dexterity, and eye hand coordination" when the pulse reaches 115 beats per minute it would imply no soldier could ever aim (hand eye coordination) and fire (finger dexterity) a gun in combat (a situation that surely qualifies as among the most stressful on earth).

you call us neanderthals but you still haven't figured out how to register your own name so people can't post as you.

I'm too busy reading books, you peg legged neanderthal.

These are Blauer's statements, which you claim to respect. Instead of hanging the messenger ask the source. Or do you not want to know the truth???

Consolidated Posts that where posted within minutes of each other - SysOp

do you mean 'The Source' which Ed Gacey used to channel? The ancient kinly spirit from Atlantis?

I can't do that.

The source I mean the spirit of GOD! Do you believe in GOD bob #2?

The Bible says physical excercise is good, but spiritual excercise is more important.

Throughout history all of man's attempts to fix the world have failed. There is only one thing left to fix the world and the answer can be found in the book of Revelations.

God comes first.

Life is short. There is just too much waiting for me in life and after life to make MA a top priority.

You neanderthals can rot in hell.

rumbrae,

I didn't believe in GOD until I met him at a Greatful Dead concert when I was 19. Now that you remind me- one of the weirder things he said "remember, the password is backwards". If you're half as smart as you think you are- (which is several times smarter than I think you are) you'll figure out exactly what he meant and gayly return to posting your well thought-out cut-and-paste disertations on what is real and what is sport and why bbgun kids should be feared and admired.

by the way, I doubt neanderthals can read and even if they could I think your girlish taunts and rants would bounce right off their thick, protruding brows.

How can you dis a guy who would go to the extend of picking fights while wearing a heart-rate monitor merely for the sake of research?

well I never thought of it. I have struck several people while THEY were on heart monitors just to see what would happen. Only once succeeding in causing a heart to stop altogether but the patient was an octagenarian and that doesn't really count by dim mach standards- but it was still an impressive feat. (This was in a facility that had a staff who could quickly restart her heart).
